When to Sow Your Chili Crops in Agriculture

In chili farming, the first step for farmers is to get
your seeds ready by buying from an agriculture shop or getting them straight
from previous harvest.

After you get your seeds, the next step would be
sowing. Sowing chili seeds can be done directly on seedbeds combined with
cattle manure fertilizer or you can use one of the known techniques like
sterile-pro chili sowing, soil block system, or polybag system. Each has its
own advantages.

Sterile-Pro Sowing Technique Produce Uniform Crop

Generally, the average time to sow for your chili
crops is among these three important periods:

Age 1 – 4
days when your seeds start to germinate and showing roots, plumula

Age 5 – 25 days when your seeds have germinated
and been moved to white, transparent small polybags. This is when your
chili crops need intensive care. Make sure to do your watering intensively
and on schedule because this is the critical part of your crops’ growth
and development. Your crops will also need sufficient nutrients and you
can make sure they get them by adding fertilizer from rice straws or
cattle manure with soil to fertilizer ratio 3 to 1

·Age 26 days and above when your chili crops are ready to be moved to bigger
medium like big seedbeds. At this age, your chili crops will have had complete
organs like plentiful roots, stems, and leaves. For the next few days, take
care of your chili crops the usual way with irrigation, fertilization, weeding and
harrowing, and pest and disease control, and of course pole markers and mulch,
